Tirabin al-Sana (Hebrew: תראבין א-צאנע), also Tarabin (Arabic: ترابين), is a Bedouin village in the Negev desert in southern Israel.

[1] Prior to the establishment of Israel, the Negev Bedouins were a semi-nomadic society that had been through a process of sedentariness since the Ottoman rule of the region.

[citation needed] Several townships were built for them, offering better living conditions, infrastructure, sanitation, health and education, and municipal services.

As of today, according to the information of Israel Land Administration, over 60% of the Negev Bedouin live in seven settlements in the Negev desert with approved plans and developed infrastructure: Hura, Lakiya, Ar'arat an-Naqab (Ar'ara BaNegev), Shaqib al-Salam (Segev Shalom), Tel as-Sabi (Tel-Sheva), Kuseife and the city of Rahat, the largest among them).

[4] Government Resolution 881 on 29 September 2003 created eight new Bedouin settlements (seven of which were to be located in the now defunct Abu Basma Regional Council).

But at the end of 2011 as a result of fruitful negotiations, the rest of the Tarabin tribe living in an unrecognized village nearby moved into the newly built locality with empty land plots waiting for them.
